Getting you back on your feet, with robotic precision

Knee is the largest joint in the body and used for most day to day activities. This also makes it prone to everyday wear and tear. Finding out that one has knee pain that is caused by osteoarthritis can be dispiriting. In contemporary times there are numerous treatment options to tackle knee pain. If surgery is the only option, you should be glad to know that surgeons at Aakash Healthcare Super Speciality Hospital use the latest technology and products from Smith & Nephew, a 150-year old medical technology company that was recently ranked by Forbes Magazine as one of the most innovative companies in the world.

The NAVIO Robotic Arm Assisted Surgery System allows the surgeons at Aakash Healthcare Super Speciality Hospital to achieve unparalleled accuracy in the placement of the implant. The extra layer of planning and precision provided by the NAVIO system aims to ensure the procedure is performed exactly as the surgeon intends. The NAVIO system does not perform the procedure; rather it assists the surgeon in preparing the knee surgical site, and position and balance the implant. This correctness is extremely important for numerous reasons; how the implant feels for the patient. The implant will feel natural, if it has been correctly placed. More importantly the life of the implant gets augmented, with less pain and faster recovery.

Treatment

Arthroscopic surgery – A minimally invasive procedure, which repairs the cartilage. Arthroscopic surgery is every so often less effective as osteoarthritis progresses.

Partial knee replacement – A procedure that replaces the single damaged compartment of the knee, generally advised for early to mid-stage osteoarthritis.

Total knee replacement surgery – A procedure that replaces all three compartments of the knee, when osteoarthritis reaches an advanced stage.

Why get surgery done?

The surgery will help in relieving pain, improving alignment and stability in the joints, correcting bone deformity, and most importantly enhancing the overall quality of life.

Total Knee Replacement Surgery

TKR surgery is one of the most commonplace surgeries and more than 600,000 people undergo this procedure globally. More than 90% of people who get total knee replacement done, experience dramatic relief in knee pain and are better able to perform day to day activities. Total knee replacement removes and replaces the damaged knee surface with an implant.

The NAVIO Surgical System is a tool that surgeons at Aakash Healthcare use to assist them in locating the correct size and position the total knee implant with computer and robotic assistance. Computer assistance is used to collect the unique shape and motion of your knee to virtually plan the procedure, which is best suited for you.
